Penínsulas & Continentes, the new
album by Maria de Medeiros, is a musical
journey between the Iberian and Italian
peninsulas and the continents of America
and Africa. Through the discoveries,
exchanges, alliances and cinema, over
the centuries music has travelled. From
the Latin peninsulas of Europe, poems,
melodies, talents and sentiments set sail.
And from the huge continents of Africa and
America, rhythms, dynamics, nostalgias
and influences arrived. Penínsulas &
Continentes explores these mutual echoes.

mágicas com identidade própria,
baile de beleza e paixão e sobretudo
vozes carregadas de emoção e festa.
The Lagos Cultural Centre has been
hosting the Flamenco Festival in the
month of September for 10 years.
This was a pioneering festival in
Portugal and it has become one of the
most important flamenco festivals
outside Spain; every year it stages
three shows in which the different
flamenco arts are represented: fragua,
piano, cajón, guitar, song and dance.
Magical guitars with their own identity,
dance full of beauty and passion
and above all voices suffused with
emotion and the spirit of fiesta.

“Um hino à vida e ao teatro”. Esta é
uma peça de Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt,
com uma interpretação de cortar
a respiração de Lídia Franco.
“A hymn to life and to the theatre”. This
play (Oscar and the Lady in Pink) is by
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, with a breathtaking performance by Lídia Franco.

Esta é uma pequena história
sobre a arte de bem vender e bem
enganar, em que está sempre
presente a interacção com o público.
Fazem parte desta história as
personagens Modé-Ali, vendedor
de tapetes voadores, Al-Xeringa,
seu cúmplice, e Marafad, inocente
comprador cuja ambição acaba por
ser a sua desgraça. O espectáculo
está imbuído do espírito dos
contos de fadas e das histórias de
mouras encantadas tão presentes
no imaginário popular algarvio.
As suas personagens se não são
mágicas pelo menos esforçam-se
por sê-lo, e toda a imoralidade das
suas condutas acaba por ser mote
para a moral da história – nem tudo
o que parece é, sobretudo na hora
de comprar…
This is a little tale about the art
of good selling and good trickery,
including plenty of interaction with
the audience. The story features the
following characters: the flyingcarpet seller Môdé-Ali, Al-Xeringa,
his accomplice, and Marafad, an
innocent purchaser whose ambition
leads to his downfall. The show
is imbued with the spirit of fairy
tales and the stories of enchanted
Moorish maidens that are so much
a part of the popular imagination
in the Algarve. The characters, if
not actually magical, endeavour
to be so, and all the immorality of
their conduct provides the moral of
the tale – not everything is what
it seems, especially when you’re
making a purchase…

The International GT Open is back
at the Algarve International Motor
Racing Circuit for another weekend
full of adrenaline and competition.
Some of the most competitive
GT cars driven by numerous
professional drivers but also
“gentlemen drivers”. Full starting
grids for two races with plenty of
excitement. But that’s not all: the
European F3 Open will also be part
of the weekend, bringing single
seaters together with GT cars and
providing different kinds of races.

The main aim of this event is to familiarise
people with the wealth of bird life in the
Algarve region, in particular in the Sagres
Peninsula which, between September and
November, becomes the main migratory
corridor for birds of prey in mainland Portugal.
During these months, over 5,000 gliding birds
– including the black stork (Ciconia nigra), the
Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus),
the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), the booted
eagle (Aquila pennata), the European honeybuzzard (Pernis apivorus), Eleonora’s falcon
(Falco eleonorae), the Iberian imperial eagle
(Aquila adalberti) and many others – fly over
this region, making it the main attraction
in the country for lovers of bird-watching.
